DNF.
I tried.
I really tried but the plot holes and spoilers drove me nuts.

The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo
1.0
The Light We Lost is marketed inaccurately as a romance novel. Why inaccurately, well for one thing it breaks the cardinal rule of the romance genre — there must be a happy ending. There has to be a forever ever after. This doesn’t end that way and had it been any other book, I would have found it refreshing.
The Light We Lost is a book about bad choices, bad boyfriends, worse husbands, codependency, and one-percenters who truly do not give a shit about anyone but themselves. The story revolves around Lucy, and the two men she finds herself torn between.
Following the fall of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001 Lucy finds herself inexplicably bonded with her fellow Columbia University alumni, Gabe Samson with whom she shared a romantic moment on the day the towers fell. Lucy and Gabe reunite after they graduate and begin dating. Which goes great, aside from some very public sex that borders on rape, until Gabe announces that he must leave Lucy to travel abroad for his career.
Like forever.
After that, Lucy and Gabe’s lives are forever intertwined. Lucy finds herself struggling with her undeniable feelings for her ex even after they’ve both moved on, and from then on things get dramatic.
This book was a short, quick read that makes you want to keep read just to figure out the ending. Its a good book if you want pure escapism and enjoy Lifetime TV movies. Which, personally, I don’t (obviously) but if you like those things then you might just love this book. That being said, this book is most suitable for older teenagers and adults. But it could be triggering for some people, especially those who are sex repulsed, because there are some sexy scenes. Or for those who are triggered by the events of 9/11.
Check out this book if you want a summer read full of entirely predictable drama.

Started good and very quickly devolved into a shitheap of ableist slurs.
